ABSTRACT
Aim & objective: Different techniques have been developed over the year for achieving mandibular anesthesia. Continuous endeavour has been done to find out the most efficient and best anesthesia for mandible. Each technique has its own advantage and disadvantage. Our aim is to compare between different techniques and to find out if Vazirani-Akinosi and Gow Gates technique can be considered as an alternative to Conventional Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block.
Materials and Methods: 50 Adults patients between age group 15-65 were randomly selected for each technique. Total number of patient is 150. 2.7 ml of 2% Xylocaine was used for all patients Chi-square, Anova and Bonferroni test was used for statistical analysis.
Results: Gow – Gates & Vazirani-Akinosi can be considered as alternative to conventional inferior alveolar nerve block.
Key words: Local anaesthesia, Inferior Alveolar nerve block (IANB), Vazirani-Akinosi technique, Gow -Gates technique
